She left the house in Ruleville a daughter of the slaves in the fields of white and gold halving for a living her voice was full of pride with a blessing from above and the union of love a dream of liberty
Sick and tired of being sick and tired but my heart is strong and my soul renewed
The freedom summer in the Mississippi heat a million ears to greet a thousand eyes wide open the history and the pain that travelled ‘cross the land on the airwaves that day would never be the same
Sick and tired of being sick and tired but my heart is strong and my soul renewed
Little light of mine, guiding all the time little light of mine, it will shine on you tomorrow
Silently they listened as she hypnotized the crowd with a voice that boomed aloud and a message not forgotten for generations that have waited to be free paid the price of misery and no-one's free 'till we're all free
Sick and tired of being sick and tired but my heart is strong and my soul renewed
Little light of mine, guiding all the time little light of mine it will shine Little light of mine, guiding all the time little light of mine it will shine on you tomorrow
Let your light shine before men that they may see your fine works then give glory to your Father who's in heaven
